Lady Tulip

The gentle colour scheme at this inviting family home not only sets the mood for a wonderfully relaxing trip, it also perfectly matches its idyllic surroundings. Nestled into the popular town of Seahouses on Northumberland’s coastline, this is a perfect retreat for those in need of some fresh sea air and long coastal walks. A cosy living space calls for snuggling up when the wind blows a gale, while a manicured garden complete with dining set lets you make the most of sunny days. Put a picnic together in your sleek kitchen and take the eighteen-minute stroll to North Sunderland Beach for rock pooling and bracing dips in the North Sea. For those who want a little more adventure, there’s a horse riding school and two golf courses within walking distance of your doorstep. But you can’t visit Seahouses without taking a day trip to the Farne Islands – Sir David Attenborough declared it as one of his most favourite places in the UK to see nature at its best. Keep your eyes peeled for puffins, razorbills and seals bobbing in the waves.
